A woman spat on acting U.S. Attorney for the District of Columbia Ed Martin during a live TV appearance Thursday.
Martin was speaking to Newsmax after President Donald Trump withdrew his nomination for top federal prosecutor for Washington, D.C., the Daily Caller reported.
Despite having no experience as a judge or attorney, Trump tapped him for his loyalty in firing prosecutors who went after defendants from the Jan. 6, 2021, Capitol protests.
However, Sen. Thom Tillis (R-NC) threatened to vote against his nomination for precisely those reasons.
Senate Majority Leader John Thune (R-SD) realized this would hold up Martin’s nomination, which would not proceed out of the Senate Judiciary Committee.
With Martin out, Trump instead tapped Judge Jeanine Pirro, former District Attorney of Westchester County and Fox News host.
For his part, Martin was moved to associate deputy attorney general and pardon attorney while also running the Justice Department’s Weaponization Working Group.
That didn’t stop a crazed woman from taking aim at Martin after the news already broke.
Martin was giving a live interview to Newsmax about the changes when he was approached on the street by a woman walking a dog.
“Who the f— are you?” she yelled.
“You are Ed Martin,” she said, realizing who the official was.
She then walked right up to and spat at an unsuspecting Martin.
“You are a disgusting man,” the unnamed assailant claimed, despite being the one to hurl spittle at him.
WATCH:
The clip was shared on X by Newsmax reporter Rob Schmitt.
“This afternoon, acting DC US Atty Ed Martin was spit on by a psychotic lib during our interview. Hope she’s ready for a nice stretch in jail,” Schmitt captioned the footage.

This woman’s attack was brazen and caught on video.
It didn’t take long for her to be identified and on her way to getting punished for such action against a government official.
The story was shared to X by conservative commentator Benny Johnson on Friday.
“BREAKING NEWS: Trump’s Associate Deputy Attorney General Ed Martin just confirmed to me that the feral leftist woman who spit on him LIVE during a Newsmax interview is being ARRESTED: ‘Yes, we got her,'” Johnson’s caption claimed.
“She has been identified by U.S. Marshals, arrested, and will be charged under 18 U.S. Code § 111.
“She is facing 20 years in federal prison for knowingly assaulting a federal official and potentially millions in legal fines.
“This is JUSTICE in action,” Johnson added.

The Left is out of control in its hatred for Republicans and especially anyone associated with Trump.
This woman, who allegedly spat at Martin, will surely face prison time and more.
